Hello everyone,
as you probably know, the new Stronkhold mode is coming. A part of it are NPC defensive buildings – turrets, controlled by bots, that protect your base from enemy assault. The turrets will allegedly be constructed as buildings in Stronkhold mode. They are allegedly going to appear as team members, so in the end, a team can have 16 or 17 players in the team like that.
This is an E-100 turret, with 10k hitpoints, allegedly it’s possible there will be other tank turrets used this way as well.
That’s a pretty expensive turret…
healthy also …
this looks kind of silly! Why not just model a real bunker .. made of freaking concrete.
well its looks OK
tank turrets used as bunker always looks like this one, check that:

I read somewhere (FTR? Overlord’s blog? Tank archives? Can’t remember exactly.) that Russians even used MS -1 turrets for this purpose after the war.
Most countries used outdated or extra turrets (from destroyed hulls) as quick easy makeshift AT bunkers. The Pantherturm is the most powerful I know of (besides naval-based turrets). An E100, as the peak of technology in the game? I guess it works, it just doesn’t really fit with the real life use of those bunkers…
IIRC the Maus, after even the most retarded designers realized it couldn’t do much, was justified by saying it could plug holes in the Atlantic Wall. Which I guess it could, but I think they meant the entire tank sitting there dug in, not just the turret.
Hopefully it will not be as imbalanced as the assault mode.
Surely some scrub arties can click those bots out.
They have to do some clicking if the turrets have 10k HP!
That’s gonna be awesome. Imagine the amount of credits and exp for dealing 10k dmg <3
Yeah…. I bet a lot of newbies will just rush the enemy base in hopes of dealing some easy damage….
Just scout the turret and let the artys do the job… imagine the spotting damage! ;)
How long will the assaults last though? It might take too long to knock them out. Also taking 3 or 4 arties into such a game basically means that you will be insta rushed by the defenders
It should be mentioned that these have an actual historical basis. Not an E100 turret of course (because the tank never really existed) but the Panther turret was used in fixed emplacements.

Well not only panther turrets whole variety of tanks were used for this think like IS IS3 pz2 3 4 ect… Also E100 technically existed but only as a suspension.
I wouldn’t like to see that in the game.. if they want NPC canons, it should be something like those at Siegfrirkvoasjf.. line map
You don’t know about Siegfried Line?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siegfried_Line
I know about it but I didn’t know how to spell it in the moment when I wrote that post XD
On my language it’s called a bit differently.. so when I speak about it on English, well.. my tongue knows to end up tied in a knot when I try to spell each letter lol
is it actually named “stronkhold”? cause if not, it just starting to bothers me when you call it like that SS :D ( I know, such a big deal )
Don’t know why does it bother you. I laugh every time I see it.
I’ll probably mod the game so it shows Stronkhold instead if Stronghold ;)
+1, lol if you made that mod please post it on the forum :D
isnt 10K HP not a bit much? I mean you run out of shells if you kill one.
I would like to see btw that only the defending party would get this kinda turrets because otherways it would be unfair to the defending party because they are getting overwhelmed at once
I’m pretty sure 10K hp is just for testing purposes.
It will be possible to ammorack such turret? ;)
I think it has too much hp. Arty could be used to destroy it, but meh, shooting bot turrets for whole round isn’t fun.
Earning a shitton of exp and credits for dealing 10k dmg in an arty is certainly fun^^
You have to remember that the E100 turret will probably be used in tier 10 matches, and in tier 5-7 maybe say an ARL turret with around 3k HP.
Yes, but clicking purple XVM guys is much more fun in cancer.
Will shooting them count towards exp and credits earned?
If it didn’t, then it would be a very pointless and expensive thing to do :P
Exactly what you want.
It would be so tedious, none would attack your stronkhold.
Luckily I don’t have any curiousity about playing this mode :)
Actually this mode makes me think about returning to some clan… Bonus for random struggle, yes please
what a load of crap, hope it will not come to Random Battles.
PS
WG devs, stfu, stop programming and be beautiful!
You can turn off certain game modes under the settings. It will probably be easy to turn off.
So… these turrets will be placed on the map during battle? Will it be possible to designate a place on a map where it should stand? Or it will be placed in WG-predefined locations? Or random? Or how….?
I think it will be predefined.
Knowing WG RNG to the maximum breh.
In attackers spawn :-D
2 spg, ap shells and it’s not so op anymore -.- … and i think this turret will be single one on map , others will be much weaker.
I just hope they aren’t as accurate as the WoWP AA emplacements.
stronKhold?? we got enough stronK grammar in game.
please don’t torture my eyes here on FTR, too…
It is April 1st already!
I like this idea! You can have heavy turrets like E100 and super heavy turrets like this

Instead of all the bullshit additions that nobody wants and in fact causes gameplay issues, wouldn’t it be nice if WG simply stuck to refining the core gameplay that got us all hooked in the first place and added a tank or two occassionally?
Wouldn’t it?
